Syntax help 4

[jshurst]

I'm more of a vb.net programmer, not much of a C# programmer (just learning). I'm currently beginning a project using IBM MQ for .net and one line of syntax has me a little confused. This is probably a really obvious question, but how do I convert this to vb.net?

int openOptions = MQC.MQOO_INPUT_AS_Q_DEF | MQC.MQOO_OUTPUT ;

I don't know what the "pipe" translates to.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The pipe is an Or operator

Thanx!

That's what I thought, but for some reason I thought an "or" was two pipes ||

thanks a lot!

It's a bitwise-OR, versus the two-pipe version which is a logical-OR.

so, 2 | 1 returns 3 because the bit-patterns are:
[tt]
00000010
00000001
========
00000011
[/tt]

Chip,

You are the man. I did not know or understand bitwise operations, but I found this very helpful article on Wikipedia that explained it. Hopefully, it will help anyone else who may be wondering and want to learn.
